My sister and bro-in-law have a tendency to try the latest diet, even though both of them are skinny. Generally I just wait it out, barely tolerating my sister's insistence that I _must_ try it with them because they feel so great. The odd time I will yell at her to leave me alone, that I'm going to go eat a pint of ice cream just to spite her nagging me (I'm such an adult). Sometimes I go through the motions: I still have an unopened bottle of something I was supposed to take with meals six times a day. This time I'm going to take advantage of their weakness to get back at them for all the trouble they've caused with these crappy diets.
They are in the midst of switching to a raw food diet. This seems to involve the eating of anything that was once rooted to the ground. Things with hoofs or ears or the ability to move without windpower are excluded. This means things that taste good are bad. Normally this would only concern me if I agreed to go for Sunday dinner with my bro-in-law's family. Now I'm concerned only because I feel the pressing need to get their barbeque before they realise this diet sucks ass.
They've already offered me the barbeque, but I won't believe it until it's delivered to my house. With the longest day of the year behind us, I'm concerned that they'll realise that raw food is boring and rescind the offer. I mean, who decides to stop eating meat in the middle of the summer?! I've been trying to organise a drop-off time, to no avail. My concern grows daily.
I've even purchased a package of Stampede burgers in anticipation. I love those burgers.
If you love burgers in general, you should check out my friend's friend's hamburger blog:

If you don't like burgers, why are we friends? Oh, right... because you're super.
Unrelated, Saturday afternoon (2pm-4pm) Harry & the Potters will be playing a free show at the Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library, on the South Plaza. This is their only stop in Canada, and their 2006 library tour is quite extensive through the States. When I get around to learning to play an instrument and forming the band, I'm going to book a library tour (no pun intended). How rad would it be to play the New York Public Library?
Uh... Do you have an extra bass you're looking to sell, Bandito? Anyone? Anyone?
